LOVED this. Finally - a traditional potato salad that doesn't have mushy potatoes or make me want to gag when I swallow.
The vinegar adds a nice little zing, and I mashed the egg yolk with some dry mustard and garlic powder (as suggested by others) - delish. Definitely my new go-to recipe for BBQs this summer.

Very good if you're looking for a traditional mayonnaise potato salad. I would use less mayo next time, though, and perhaps a little more celery for more crunch, but that's just my personal preference.

Perfection! I made a couple changes - I used red onion (what I had), added some red bell pepper (to use it up) and took the suggestions of others and mashed the egg yolk with a little ground mustard and mayo and finely chopped the egg. DELICIOUS beyond words, exactly what I was looking for in a potato salad. I think the vinegar step is what helps it from being too rich, yet its nice and subtle. Will be the base for my potato salads from now on as it lends itself very well to variations as well.

I prefer a more Texas-Czech style
potato salad, using dill relish,
pimentos, onions, eggs, mustard and
mayo. But my husband, who I
imported from NJ, does not care for
this combination. He is always
asking for 'normal' potato salad.
This was extremely normal...but
after adding celery salt, paprika,
ground white pepper, and 1/2 c. sour
cream it was decent. I'll make it
again for him, but if you prefer a
more 'deviled' potato salad I don't
think you will be satisfied.

This is very close
to our family recipe
passed down through
the ages. For 8
medium potatoes
instead of vinegar
and salt, marinate
in 1/2 cup of zesty
Italian dressing.
Chill. Add celery,
eggs and some
chopped pimento then
add dressing. Make
the dressing by
mixing in this
order: 1 cup mayo, 3
Tbs. cider vinegar,
1/4 cup evaporated
milk, 1 Tbs. grated
onion, 1/4 tsp salt
and ground pepper to
taste. Chill salad
several hours. Best
dang potato salad
period!
